"""Provide a couple of :py:class:`datetime.tzinfo` compatible objects
representing local time and UTC.

Introduction
------------

This module provides two :py:class:`datetime.tzinfo` compatible objects
representing UTC and local time zones. These are used to convert
timestamps to and from UTC and local time. The weather station software
stores data with UTC timestamps, to avoid problems with daylight savings
time, but the template and plot programs output data with local times.

Detailed API
------------
